LEANING VEHICLE

摘要

A leaning vehicle has a frame, a motor, a shock tower pivotally connected to the frame about a frame leaning axis, front left and right ground engaging members connected to the shock tower via front left and right suspension assemblies, a steering assembly, a rear suspension assembly, and at least one rear ground engaging member. The front left and right suspension assemblies each include a lower suspension arm having a first end pivotally connected about a pivoting axis to the lower end of the shock tower and a second end pivotally connected about a tilting axis to its corresponding front ground engaging member, and a shock absorber having an upper end connected to the upper end of the shock tower and a lower end connected to the lower suspension arm. The frame is pivotable about the frame leaning axis relative to the pivoting axes.

主权项

1. A leaning vehicle comprising:
a frame having a front portion and a rear portion; a shock tower having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end of the shock tower being pivotally connected to the frame about a frame leaning axis about which the frame can pivot to a right side and to a left side relative to the shock tower; a front left ground engaging member and a front right ground engaging member connected to the shock tower via a front left suspension assembly and a front right suspension assembly respectively; a steering assembly having a rotatable steering column supported by the frame and being operatively connected to the front left ground engaging member and the front right ground engaging member; a rear suspension assembly connected to the rear portion of the frame; at least one rear ground engaging member connected to the rear suspension assembly; and a motor operatively connected to at least one of the ground engaging members; the front left suspension assembly including:
a lower left suspension arm having a first end and a second end, the first end being pivotally connected about a left pivoting axis to the lower end of the shock tower and the second end being pivotally connected about a left tilting axis to the front left ground engaging member; anda left shock absorber having an upper end connected to the upper end of the shock tower and a lower end connected to the lower left suspension arm, the front right suspension assembly including:a lower right suspension arm having a first end and a second end, the first end being pivotally connected about a right pivoting axis to the lower end of the shock tower and the second end being pivotally connected about a right tilting axis to the front right ground engaging member; anda right shock absorber having an upper end connected to the upper end of the shock tower and a lower end connected to the lower right suspension arm, the frame being pivotable about the frame leaning axis relative to the left and right pivoting axes.
